Types of Accident-Related Back Injuries
Some of the most common back injuries resulting from car accidents or slip and fall incidents include:
- Whiplash
- Slipped discs
- Spinal fractures
- Compressed spinal nerves
- Nerve damage
- Spinal cord injuries
- Paralysis
Back injuries from car accidents are extremely common. From spinal cord injuries to severe neck trauma, these injuries can be extremely catastrophic. These back injuries can have myriad effects, ranging from chronic pain and loss of mobility and function. Treatment for such injuries is often extensive, long-lasting, and incredibly costly. The good news is that, if someone else was responsible for the accident that caused your back injuries, you could be entitled to compensation for your damages.
Obtaining Compensation For Back Injuries Resulting From An Accident
Back injuries are some of the worst types of injuries sustained in auto accidents or slip and fall incidents. While extremely painful in their own right, broken arms and legs typically heal after three to four months. With back injuries, however, treatment can last months to years. Even after physical therapy, many back injuries never fully heal.
Treating a back injury can easily cost hundreds of thousands—if not millions—of dollars over the course of the victim’s lifetime. On top of this, victims are often unable to work, either while they are healing or indefinitely if their injury is disabling.
At Tijerina Legal Group, we seek maximum compensation for our clients to assist with their:
- Medical bills and treatment costs
- Lost income/wages
- Ongoing and future medical expenses
- Future lost earnings and loss of earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and trauma
The back is a complex system of muscles and nerves. We utilize our back for just about everything we do, from breathing to eating to moving around—even sitting down at a desk working still activates certain back muscles. If you have sustained a back injury from an auto accident, a McAllen car accident attorney may be your best bet in securing compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
